What We’re Looking For
Applicants from populations historically underrepresented in the theatre industry who demonstrate exceptional talent and economic need but have a lack of financial resources to attend college. We are also especially applicants interested in students pursuing “behind the scenes” disciplines such as stage management, lighting design, playwriting, arts administration, to name a few, in addition to actors/performers.
Applying is Easy
The first part of this application doesn’t require any external materials like a transcript or reference letter, which means you can fill out the entire first part completely on your own. In addition to basic information, submissions require the following:
- Introduction Video
- Personal Narrative
- Work Samples
- Statement of Need
